My journey started when me and my mom immigrated to Italy when I was 14. At 16, I got my first web design internship. I'm now an experienced Product and UI/UX designer with nearly 6 years in the belt providing delightful experiences and human-centric solutions. I'm a trained designer and developer by Apple and I have worked with professionals at Stanford University and collaborated with award-winning talent from Washington Post. I've also done creative work for the supermodel, Alexis Ren.
